The spring can be adjusted to seal off the sealing hole by automatic controlling the motor. That is to say, the sealing process can be automatic controlled and the weight of the sealant in each injector can be separated preset. The weight of the sealant can be distributed basic on the necessary. If the consume of sealant in the side injector is much more the middle injector, than the preset sealant in the side injector will be more than that of in the middle injector. So after the sealant pouring, the sealant consume is balanced which in the side injector and the middle injector. As a result, the sealant will be not remained in any injector to be wastered.
In the preferred embodiment, the height sensor comprises a signal generator and a signal receiver in the same horizontal line, while the height of the injected sealant reaches the preset value, the signal receiver will be not receive the signal from the signal generator, and the signal receiver will send a broken signal to the controller IC to drive the spring moving and sealing off the sealing hole by controlling the motor.
